中国公厕用人脸识别技术防厕纸被偷，印网友：还不如用左手水洗呢

BEIJING: Public toilets in Chinese capital have started using facial recognition technology to stop toilet paper theft after it became rampant.

At the Temple of Heaven, one of the capital’s busiest tourist sites and a former hotbed of toilet paper kleptomania, a user in need of tissue paper must stand in front of a wall-mounted machine with a high definition camera, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.

The device’s software remembers recent faces, and if the same person reappears within a certain period, it refuses to activate the automatic roller.

For years, many residents have been taking reams of paper from public toilets for use at home.

Recently, Chinese media outlets investigated the phenomenon and found most of the tissue bandits were senior citizens. Such behaviour has placed a considerable financial burden on public toilet management.

Sometimes a newly replenished roll can disappear within a minute, leaving other users an empty holder.

The Temple of Heaven management said they also provided old-school rollers because not all visitors were accepting the new technology.

The facial camera required a user to remove their hat and sunglasses.

It prompted concerns about infringement of privacy, and the face recognition processing time, which is only meant to be three seconds, sometimes takes more than a minute, which is an added frustration for someone who is in a hurry to use the loo.

The smart toilet paper machine has prompted quite a discussion on mainland social media. Most people agree that the behaviour should be stopped. But a few said the public shouldn’t get too wound up over the issue.

“The cheap paper in public toilet contains lots of toxic materials such as fluorescent agents. Excessive use will only damage their health,” said a user on WeChat, the Post report said.

Define ‘cheap’ . Chinese factory workers earn US$3.50 an hour which is five times higher than in India and seven times higher than in Bangladesh where workers earn 50 cents an hour. China maintains its competitive edge with advanced robotics in their factories.

中国工人一小时工资3.5美元，比印度工人时薪高5倍

比时薪50美分的孟加拉国工人高7倍

中国是靠工厂里的机器人保持竞争优势的

The machine uses facial recognition to dispense paper. Wow! Super intelligent and memory. But I am sure, if one puts a little hair(mustache or beard), the machine will get confused, go berserk and dole out the whole paper roll

机器采用人脸识别技术来分发厕纸

哇！太聪明了

不过，如果有人留了一些胡子什么的，机器识别不了

可能会分发整卷厕纸呢

Why didn’t we think oof this before? The next TN Budget may have a provision for doling out free toilet papers to all the voters, not necessarily the Senior citizens.

怎么我们之前没有想到过呢？

泰米尔纳德邦的下一次预算，也许会考虑向所有选民免费发放厕纸

In India people shit everywhere in toilet except toilet seat and spit pan masala every where even on walls. Toilet paper is sold by person who is managing the toilet so no question of stealing.

在印度，人们仍然随地方便

厕纸是公厕管理人员拿来卖的，所以不存在偷厕纸的问题

Should be implemented in Air India, where flight delays are happening due to toilet chocking. Passengers responsible should be identified and fined.

在印度航空航班上也安装人脸识别机器

有时候厕所堵住了，导致航班延误

碰到这种事，就要找到相关责任乘客

Wow…good system! Is it applicable for both ladies and gents loos? One day the camera focus will change to elsewhere. In China everything is possible as nobody dares to resist.

哇，哇！是否男厕女厕都有安装？

On certain issues we asians are same everywhere. Chinese are stealing toilet paper and in India they steal taps, commode and washbasin and most of the time water!! If we start putting cameras than it will be stolen too!!

在某些问题上，我们亚洲人是一个德性

中国人偷厕纸，而印度人偷水龙头、便桶、脸盆，很多时候还偷水

如果安装带有摄像头的机器，那么这个机器也会被偷走的

Indians don’t use toilet paper as such but sadly enough, there is no water to flush and wash. Latest proposal of Swatcch Bharat is to make open air toilets free for all and use soil available in plenty for cleaning and covering the loo for manure.

印度人上厕所不用纸的，就是缺少冲洗的水

最新的提议是修建供人免费使用的露天厕所

用泥土来清洁，然后粪便当做肥料

China is still poor see toilet paper is stolen because they don’t have enough money even to buy toilet paper or it is part of Chinese culture or mentality.china is a Dieter ship democratic country could not manage the public.

中国还很穷啊，连厕纸都偷

没有钱买厕纸，还是这是中国文化的一部分
